Rocky Mountain Angular (Denver, CO)

Angular has become a major player in the web development landscape and many businesses are choosing it to start their new projects. What do interested teams have for their mature AngularJS codebases, though? During November’s meetup, we explore the migration options that the Angular team provides, as well as the pros and cons of each. We’ll then look at a quick AngularJS to Angular transition example!

The Angular CLI makes bootstrapping an app dead simple. But what about component libraries that need to be distributed as packages? In today’s JavaScript landscape, developers will consume packages in many different ways—some may use SystemJS or Webpack, others might consume packages in Node or maybe in the browser as a UMD bundle. The Angular Package Format supports all of the commonly used development tools and workflows and adds emphasis on optimizations that result either in smaller application payload size or faster development iteration cycle (build time). While support for building packages in this format is on the Angular CLI roadmap, it is not available today. We will look at a community-supported alternative, ng-packagr, that can be used today to build redistributable component libraries while retaining the benefits of the CLI for building demo and documentation apps in the same codebase.

The 4.3 release of Angular introduced a new HTTP client library and with it brought back a beloved feature from AngularJS – interceptors. Interceptors in the Angular teams own words “When your application makes a request, interceptors transform it before sending it to the server, and the interceptors can transform the response on its way back before your application sees it.” In this talk, we show you how to create HTTP Interceptors with Angular 4.3+, use cases for the interceptors – in our case and probably the most common case; authentication and authorization, as well as additional best practices and tips and tricks using the new HttpClient library.

Ado is a full-stack developer and developer evangelist at Auth0.

On the front-end, he prefers Angular, while on the backend he flip-flops between Node.js and Golang.

One of the challenges of using the Redux (ngrx) architecture for a large, complex application is deciding how to model the state object. We will dive into what types of data should be kept in the state (hint: there’s no “right” answer), why it should be normalized, and how to organize state to reduce duplicate and nested data and keep reducer logic simple.

Jesse Sanders is the founder and CEO of BrieBug, a premier broker of technology solutions.

AngularNYC (New York, NY)

As an architectural engineer by training, and working as a web dev for the past couple of years, Katerina will explain how architecture has defined the way she designs web apps and pages and how Angular has supported her in organising content. “A web page for me is like the facade of a house. From day one into web development, I looked at apps as if setting down plans for a new building. The process, like the process of building from the ground an establishment. I want to talk about scaffolding. I want to extend on designing the building blocks, the bricks made out of components. And as the construction is evolving, how materials fill in the empty spaces, making them consistent.”

Katerina is a front-end developer at Upstream. In the past, she worked as a web developer at the National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos”. Before diving into web development, she studied Architectural Engineering and Spatial Analysis at the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis at UCL and took a number of post-graduate courses at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of NTUA.

She lives in Athens, Greece.

One thing is sure – performance matters! Blocking the main thread of an application, causing frame drops, is one of the most efficient ways to get rid of a significant portion of our users. Fortunately, the day could be saved, thanks to functional programming. Coming with, at first, abstract ideas, functional programming brings the concepts of immutability and purity, which combined together can dramatically improve the rendering performance of our application. In this talk, we’ll apply concepts from functional programming in the face of pure components, pure pipes and persistent data structures. We’ll demonstrate in detail how we can use them to build high-performant Angular applications.

According to builtwith.com over 400,000 AngularJS apps have been created and released into the wild. In this talk, I’ll present a new migration approach. One that works for even the most complex and challenging legacy AngularJS applications. One that works even if your AngularJS code is not up to today’s standards. One that works even if you are not already an SPA. One that works when you are migrating a number of other legacy libraries at the same time you are migrating AngularJS. If you have already tried migrating your existing AngularJS application and hit a brick wall, or are overwhelmed with the number of changes you’ll have to make to your existing AngularJS app to even begin the process of migration, then this talk is for you.

Angular became the framework of choice for numerous large-scale projects in the media, e-commerce, financial and banking sectors to name but a few. However, even though the framework itself has changed and improved dramatically since it was originally introduced, the way we design the acceptance tests and the design patterns we use to do that is still stuck in 2009. This makes it difficult to write E2E tests and use Protractor at scale, especially on projects where multiple teams are involved. In this talk I will demonstrate Serenity/JS, a TypeScript implementation of the popular Serenity BDD library, that lets you test Angular apps using the Screenplay Pattern and benefit from the powerful reporting features provided by Serenity BDD. Combining the advantages of Protractor, the expressive Screenplay DSL, tooling support for TypeScript, and the powerful reporting features of Serenity BDD, Serenity/JS is set to become the tool of choice for your Angular automated testing!

We live in a world where context is often derived from forces such as gravity, friction, velocity, etc. which can determine the entire nature of a user interaction. These factors provide us with a considerable opportunity to direct a user experience to a successful conclusion by giving the right cues and setting the proper tone through motion. Angular Animations provides us with a way to express movement through a powerful yet natural DSL within our applications. In this talk, we will work through how to take a static application and bring it to life in easy, approachable steps so that you can apply the same process to your work.

About Lukas: Developer. Hacker. Community backer. Author and blogger. Console logger. Author of AngularJS in Action for Manning Publications.

The Angular pages you know are mostly static. They are fixed component trees, fully described by their templates. In Angular the component template and class are inseparable. They are compiled together into a single execution unit during the build. It’s hard to imagine an Angular application that generates a runtime custom dashboard or a data-driven questionnaire … or the free-form pages of Angular’s own documentation at angular.io. Can it be done? It is done! In the official, open-source, Angular documentation viewer, each document page is a unique blend of HTML content and Angular components​ drawn from a widget toolbox. A page can display any of the widgets, in any combination, placed anywhere on the page. The documentation viewer itself has no idea what these pages look like. Learn how we do it and imagine how you can apply these techniques to build dynamic pages in your own application.

There is an acute sense of pain that developers experience as they try to reconcile complex user interactions and interpret the effect those actions will have on the overall application state. This generally starts out as a fairly painless journey, but as application complexity increases, so do the demands that we place on our components. Let us imagine a scenario where the primary function of components is to expose just enough data for our templates to bind to and capture events to be passed along to a service. On a superficial level, it is obvious that these would be much easier components to work with, but what are some deeper implications of having all of our user events reduced to a series of actions and then broadcasted to the rest of the application? What happens if we bypass the components entirely and just start broadcasting those same actions directly into the application? What if we switched one view layer for another? Could one application share multiple views at the same time? If we know the actions a user takes and we can recreate them, does “time” really matter?

Voxxed Days Thessaloniki (Thessaloniki, Greece)

Angular 2 (+) is great but currently the world runs on “Angular.js”. There are too many applications out there which are actively developed and their developers would like to upgrade their code at some point. The web is full of migration paths and this session is not one more of these. We will talk about what we learned in a project that started with the goal of having an up-gradable Angular.js application and what changes (big or small) you can do in your application to make it more future-proof and easier to develop.

In this session, I’ll introduce you to developing Web apps with Angular and TypeScript while working on a sample app. We’ll start with generating a new app using Angular CLI. Then we’ll add components and injectable services to this app, will set up the navigation using the router, and use other constructs of the Angular framework. A special attention will be paid to creating loosely-coupled components. I’ll spend about 30% of the time going over slides to explain things, and 70% is live coding. I’ll use the latest version of Angular available at the time of this session.

Traditionally, AngularJS has been used for building rich single-page applications. Nowadays, Angular has become a universal framework, running inside the browser, in the backend and even powering your mobile apps. The new Angular version unlocks some interesting use-cases that were not previously possible. In this talk, we are going to see how to set up angular-universal together with fuse-box for building scalable, high-performance static web sites, such as a blog or a landing page that can be easily deployed to gh-pages or Firebase Hosting. Did I mention hot-reloading, offline support and Progressive Web Apps? https://blog.angularindepth.com/setting-up-angular-from-scratch-1f518c65d8ab

When you’re building Angular applications, you will need to figure out how to manage your user’s sessions. Back in the days, this used to be simple. But now, there are many different options, all with specific advantages and disadvantages. How can you make a sensible choice, and how will that impact the security of your application? This talk will lay it out for you. You will learn how to assess your past choices, and how to substantiate future decisions.

We have at least two very interesting options to create an Angular PWA. First, the native Angular Service Worker (NGSW) by the Angular team, super-powered by Angular CLI and some extra ng-pwa-tools. Second, the all new framework-agnostic Workbox library by the Google Chrome team. What’s easier to set up for your Angular app? What has wider functionality? What’s faster and more robust? Let’s go exploring, coding and testing! You will have 100% full overview of these two approaches after my session, but the final decision is yours!”

Nearly all Angular applications must communicate with HTTP-based APIs. To make this task easier, Angular 4.3 introduced the new HttpClient. This session looks at its possibilities. It shows how to use not only JSON but also other text-based formats like XML or CSV. Furthermore, you will see how to deal with binary streams and how your application can get progress information when doing file up- and downloads. In addition, we will look at Interceptors that allow to implement cross-cutting concerns like security checks, logging, or caching. Finally, you will see how to protect from XSRF attacks and what the HttpClient holds in store for testing.

All too often developers are left completely puzzled when the browser renders CSS in ways they didn’t expect. It’s not dark magic though and as developers we know that computers are just parsing our instructions. While many talks discuss how to fix common bugs, this talk will focus on the why by taking a deep dive into browser internals to see how our styles are parsed and rendered.
